How do I put together a shopping list of which books I want to purchase?

Adding your inventory and also making your shopping list is very easy.  Just press a key and the book the cursor is on will be added to either your Inventory <F7 key> or your Shopping List <F8 key>.  Then just print that out and take it along to the store.

In addition to the Inventory and Shopping list, you may create many hundreds of additional Folders which function in the same way.  Use these to keep track of all your special lists.

What about any upgrades to the program?  Will there be a cost to upgrade?

All upgrades are included in the update subscription price.  So, as long as you're a subscriber, you will always have the latest version of BYRON.

(Return to Questions.)

Do you have a Mac version?

Not at this time, unfortunately.  We hope to someday, but it won't be any time in the foreseeable future, though.

A few of our update subscribers, however, do use BYRON on their Macs with no problem. 

  • A couple of them mentioned using a software program called SoftWindows for Mac, but I can't find a link to it online anymore, so perhaps it's no longer being produced.
  • Another couple of BYRON subscribers use Virtual PC to run BYRON and other Windows-based programs on their Macs.  I've heard only good things about it.
(By the way, we are not connected to those companies in any way.  We're just passing along some hopefully helpful information for Mac owners interested in purchasing BYRON.)

BYRON user Mary Lynne wrote me on Feb. 5, 2001:
"Since we own a Mac, I had to go through a bit of juggling to get it to run.   Just to let you know, Virtual PC does work very well with this program.   We partitioned our hard drive, loaded Virtual PC, loaded Windows 98, and away I went."

Do you also have databases for genres other than Romance?

We currently offer three databases:
         1.)  Romance BYRON,
         2.)  SciFi/Fantasy/Horror BYRON.
         3.)  Mystery/Suspense/True Crime BYRON.

And we are working on one other:
         4.)  Adventure/Western/Spy/TechnoThriller BYRON.

It will be sold separately as a plug-in data module that current Romance, SciFi, and/or Mystery BYRON users can simply add to their existing BYRON databases.

It will also be available as a completely independent BYRON for new, non-Romance, SciFi or Mystery users.

The Adventure/Western one will hopefully be ready Summer 2008.  As with the Romance, SciFi and Mystery BYRON, updates will be available. 

As soon as it is ready, I will announce it here at the BYRON homepage and to the announcement-only mailing list.  (Sign up in the box with the RED header).

Prices have not yet been set, although there will be an "early-bird" discount for the first couple of weeks it is available.

(Return to Questions.)

Can I purchase BYRON as a gift and have it sent directly to my friend instead of to me?

Yes.  No problem at all.  Just let me know.

(Return to Questions.)

Is there a discount offered for multiple orders?

Yes.  If you order three (3) or more BYRONs at one time, you may take $20 off the price of each.
For example, if ordering 3 BYRONs:
      instead of $360  (3 @ $120),  the price will be $300  (3 @ $100).

Updates, however, are discounted only if you subscribe to more than one genre.

(Return to Questions.)

Do I have to snail-mail a check or can I order online with a credit card?

Either one.  You can order by credit card over the Internet through any of the processing services we use:

  • PayPal accepts MasterCard and Visa.
  • PayDirect accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover/Novus and American Express.

    See the ordering section for details.

    You may, if you prefer, order BYRON and the updates by snail-mailed check or money order.  Print out the order form and snail-mail it to us along with your check or money order (made payable to my name -- Connie Beck).

    And if you would like to split your payments over two months, you can do that as well.  But this option is only available when you pay with snail-mailed checks.

    (We regret we're unable to accept credit cards on orders snail-mailed to us.)
